title = "Organocatalytic asymmetric conjugate addition of thioacetic acid to β-nitrostyrenes",
abstract = "A method for organocatalytic, enantioselective Michael addition reactions of thioacetic acid with a range of trans-β-nitrostyrenes has been developed. The processes, promoted by the chiral amine thiourea organocatalyst, take place in high yields with up to 70% ee.",
